Reducing the Misuse of Pesticides and Nonpoint Source Pollution via Innovative Public Education
The BugMobile is a traveling, real-time "talking" Volkswagen Bug painted like a ladybug. This interactive exhibit raises public awareness of integrated pest management and ways to minimize the effects of pesticides on humans and the environment. This project expands "The BugMobile" program through development of new materials and displays elements specifically to meet the need for urban/suburban nonpoint source pollution prevention education.
